From a Rolls-Royce’s perspective:
- Each Supply Chain Unit (for example our Combustion
and Casings SCU) will have SCMT representation in the
UK, Germany, USA and Asia managing its supply base globally.
Progress to date
Over the past nine months, we have been working to create
the afore mentioned organisation structure inline with
the Supply Chain Simplification principles, and harmonisation
of our operating processes globally to ensure that as
far as is possible, we provide a single way of working
through our single points of contact.
From early 2008 our focus has changed to that of validating
our processes through cross functional / cross regional
integration and testing workshops both in a simulated
environment and within our SAP systems. This will ensure
that our day-to-day operational activities flow seamlessly
across processes and regions.

Current State
- many interfaces between Rolls-Royce globally and
each supplier
- lack of consistent clear approach to our supply
chain
- conflicting priorities onto our supply chain
- different systems, documentation and expectations
from each Rolls-Royce customer
- different purchase organisation structures within
Rolls-Royce
